Design of an Emergency System Based on Wireless Sensor Networks through Cloud Computing/A Proposed Model at the University of Mosul

Wireless sensor networks are frequently used during evacuations (WSN). Improved evacuation procedures can be achieved using modern means of communication, including the Internet, wireless networks, mobile phones, and more. To aid evacuees in avoiding danger, WSN enables target monitoring, hazard sensing, data collecting, and sharing. This research aims to find ways to reduce road congestion during evacuations. Its purpose is to evenly disperse persons who must evacuate across the available exits in a congested region (i.e., building, campus, zoo, etc.). The concept of wireless sensor networks is central to our strategy. Evacuation routes are expected to be adaptive, dynamic, and traffic-free.

The authority of the electronic document in case of conflict with the paper document according to the Jordanian legislation and the comparative legislation "Comparative Analytical Study"

The technical development in modern means of communication and the proliferation of social networking sites made it possible to conclude contracts via the Internet. This led to the emergence of a new type of writing and signature that is electronic in nature, in addition to the existence of paper contracts, where data messages are exchanged via the Internet and uploaded to electronic supports, in addition to sending them on paper to the contractor. Which may lead to a dispute between an electronic editor and a paper editor, whether formal or regular, and both of them contain the same contract, but there is a conflict between them? Which one will the judge prefer?In order to answer the problematic of this research, this study followed the comparative analytical approach, and it came to the conclusion that the Jordanian legislator called for adding a text to the Electronic Transactions Law that gives the judge the wide discretionary power in the event of denying the document or the electronic signature or its conflict with the paper document to return to the electronic certification authority as the owner of the role The largest in proving electronic contracting.

İngiliz Modern Çağda: Haksız Fiiller Hakaret ve Özel Bilgilerin Kötüye Kullanılması Kapsamında İnternet Ortamında Gerçekleşen İtibarı Zedeleme Örnekleri

The internet is a modern means of communication, alongside “traditional” mass media such as newspapers, radio and television. Especially with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the increase in the number of internet users brings with it the violations of personal rights to reputation that take place online. According to a study conducted in April 2020, 4.57 billion people across the world wereusing the internet, which amounts to a 7% increase since April 2019. As to social media users, the figure is 3.81 billion, which again presents an increase of more than 8% since April 2019.2 The increase in the number of internet users can lead to a rise in the attacks that take place online, particularly those that damage a person’s reputation.
 
 This paper aims to consider the importance of personal rights and the violation of such rights through the internet, giving case examples to illustrate how sometimes these rights can be protected, yet at other times they cannot. This paper consists of two parts; in the first part of our study, personal rights and the role of the internet in damaging a person’s reputation under the tort of defamation will be examined. Thereafter; part two will take into account the role of the
 internet in damaging reputation under the tort of misuse of private information, thus giving case examples to illustrate how a person’s reputation cannot always be protected online.

Impact of Globalization on African Culture

The process of globalization is inevitable because it is part of human nature. Man by nature is a social being with an irresistible urge to associate with his fellow human beings. Man cannot survive without associating with his fellow human beings. Globalization is a manifestation of this natural urge in man to associate with his fellow human beings and it is irresistible. I understand globalization to mean the process by which mankind gets closer together. This process has in recent times been facilitated by modern means of communication and transportation. Tremendous progress was made in this direction in the 20th century by the unprecedented advancement in the means of transportation and communication, e.g. Satellite and E-mail. This has turned the world to “global village”. You could have your dinner in Lagos and your breakfast the following morning in London. Through CNN, you could see and know what is happening in other part of the world. And through improved telecommunication, you could talk with anybody in other parts of the world. Through all these advancements in transportation and telecommunication, mankind is fast coming together, getting to know more about one another, becoming more and more interested and involved in what goes on in other parts of the world. Despite its numerous advantages, globalization has serious effects on African culture. It affects almost if not all aspects of African culture. One of such is the loss of one’s cultural identity and even national identity. The paper discusses meaning and definitions of culture, characteristics of culture, Categories and types of culture, meaning and definition of globalization, features of globalization, advantages of globalization and the impacts of globalization on African culture. The paper therefore concludes that globalization is good, but we must embrace it with caution and guard against the dangers inherent in it so that our cultural heritage is not eroded and sacrificed on the altar of globalization.

LEGAL CONTROLS FOR THE VALIDITY OF ELECTRONICALLY SIGNED DOCUMENTS

The information and technology revolution and the widespread use of modern means of communication and the Internet have led to the emergence of the so-called electronic signature as a substitute for the written signature, which is compatible with the nature of the legal actions of electronic documents. The traditional signature is no longer the only method used to authenticate documents and give them authenticity, but it has become possible to use a new technology to document electronic documents, and because the traditional signature could not be used in the latter, an electronic alternative appeared in line with its nature called "electronic signature". Due to the importance of the electronic signature in electronic transactions to give them the required credibility to build trust between the dealers, organizing the various aspects of the electronic signature has become a necessity. And all the legislations that organized the electronic signature recognized the authority of the latter in proof, equivalent to the authority recognized for the traditional signature. That is why our research comes to shed light on the legal importance of the electronic signature, especially in the face of the emergence of modern technologies, and in different forms that can be used in concluding legal actions. And the fact that the electronic signature is a modern means of proof, and this has sparked a great jurisprudence and legal debate about recognizing its authority and the possibility of relying on it in proving various transactions, especially electronic commerce transactions the problem that we will try to address through this topic is mainly related to the evidentiary power that the electronic signature enjoys in proof. Accordingly, this intervention revolves around answering a major question: What is the validity of the electronic signature in proving electronic actions? Does the electronic signature have the same authority as the traditional signature in proving various contracts, especially electronic commerce contracts ?.

‘Signs of the times’: Prophecy belief in contemporary Greek Orthodox contexts

This article examines the structure, content, and function of widely circulating prophetic narratives in contemporary Greece and Cyprus. Prophetologists play a key role in recycling and disseminating prophecies through traditional and modern means of communication in an attempt to explain conditions of crisis and to promote conservative moral values and nationalistic aspirations as salvific remedies in the public sphere. Their highly politicized prophetic discourse blurs the differentiation between religion and politics that characterizes secular modernity. But at the same time, the use of modern media and secular strategies for sacred purposes have unintended secularizing effects on the religious field. Finally, the article explores the reasons why prophecy belief finds fertile soil for proliferation in these countries.

الإسناد عند علماء القراءات- مفهومه وأقسامه

It is evidently known that the Holy Qur’an, and its various readings and narrations, have received great attention since its revelation till today. The `Isnäd “attribution” of the Noble Qur’an is among those aspects that have elicited great interest to the scholars. Hence, this study is carried out to reveal efforts of these scholar in the aspect of readings. The problem of the subject is supped up in the fact that the `Isnäd is considered to be one of the most important component of any acceptable reading; so it is one of the conditions in awarding a reading license, which is considered evidence of the person’s eligibility to take the lead in reading. This study attempts to answer the following questions: what are the efforts of the scholars of readings in taking care of the `Isnäd of the Qur’an? What are the types of readings? Are these evidences still continuing to our present time? The researcher followed the inductive and historical approach to answer these questions, in order to show the adoption of the `Isnäd in the frequent readings in different eras. The study revealed that these chains of narration were written in the books of readings, and in the licenses granted by the reciters to their students, and they still exist to our present era. The Quranic reading license is the process of audio transmission of the Holy Qur’an from one generation to the next, through oral reception, and it is valid to grant the `Isnäd and the license through modern means of communication and if the sheikh verifies the student’s mastery of reading, the visual face to face meeting with students and his Sheikh is not required for granting the license as such hearing is sufficient for the award of the licence.

Crowd Control, Planning, and Prediction Using Sentiment Analysis: An Alert System for City Authorities

Modern means of communication, economic crises, and political decisions play imperative roles in reshaping political and administrative systems throughout the world. Twitter, a micro-blogging website, has gained paramount importance in terms of public opinion-sharing. Manual intelligence of law enforcement agencies (i.e., in changing situations) cannot cope in real time. Thus, to address this problem, we built an alert system for government authorities in the province of Punjab, Pakistan. The alert system gathers real-time data from Twitter in English and Roman Urdu about forthcoming gatherings (protests, demonstrations, assemblies, rallies, sit-ins, marches, etc.). To determine public sentiment regarding upcoming anti-government gatherings (protests, demonstrations, assemblies, rallies, sit-ins, marches, etc.), the alert system determines the polarity of tweets. Using keywords, the system provides information for future gatherings by extracting the entities like date, time, and location from Twitter data obtained in real time. Our system was trained and tested with different machine learning (ML) algorithms, such as random forest (RF), decision tree (DT), support vector machine (SVM), multinomial naïve Bayes (MNB), and Gaussian naïve Bayes (GNB), along with two vectorization techniques, i.e., term frequency–inverse document frequency (TFIDF) and count vectorization. Moreover, this paper compares the accuracy results of sentiment analysis (SA) of Twitter data by applying supervised machine learning (ML) algorithms. In our research experiment, we used two data sets, i.e., a small data set of 1000 tweets and a large data set of 4000 tweets. Results showed that RF along with count vectorization performed best for the small data set with an accuracy of 82%; with the large data set, MNB along with count vectorization outperformed all other classifiers with an accuracy of 75%. Additionally, language models, e.g., bigram and trigram, were used to generate the word clouds of positive and negative words to visualize the most frequently used words.

Development of the Adolescents’ Communicative Culture in the Context of Digitalization of Additional Education

In the era of digitalization of education and economy and the development of artificial intelligence, adolescents appear highly competitive compared with other generations in understanding digital technologies, acquiring expertise, and mastering modern means of communication, which normally causes intergenerational conflicts and the loss of an adult’s personal and functional authority. The aim of this research was to develop and test a model for developing adolescents’ communicative cultures in an institution of additional education. The research emphasizes the significance of personality-oriented, interactive-communicative, and cultural approaches and conducts a comparative analysis of the sources. Methodologically, the study relies on a quantitative method with primary sources. Besides, the findings of the study contribute to the existing limited stress on the importance of adolescents’ communicative cultures from the perspective of the digitalization of additional education. The study finds that the use of digital options in education has reduced social interaction among students. However, the students prefer to use digital methods of learning as they find them more convenient for communication. Therefore, the digital communication culture has high potential in the educational sector. The findings are novel as this study is one of the few recent studies that examined how communicative culture has transformed due to digital means in education.

Взаимодействие органов местного самоуправления с городским сообществом Хабаровска: социологический анализ

Sociological analysis of interaction of the local governments with the population of Khabarovsk, presented as the local community is given in this article. Based on the forms of participation of the population determined by the current legislation, evaluation of their relevance in solving the problems of local importance and urgent problems of life was given. From the methodological standpoint of sociology, the author interpreted the results of public opinion polls of the citizens as the forms of their collective behavior and involvement in the socially useful activities in the territory of their residence, in public hearings, and participation in the municipal elections.As a result of research, it was determined that the activity of the participation of the population of Khabarovsk in the legally determined forms of interaction with the local self-government is extremely low due to the weakness of solidarity social ties, high disunity of power and civil society. This is due to both the objective conditions for localizing residents in city apartments of apartment buildings and their subjective assessments of dissatisfaction with the activities of local governments to solve the urgent problems of their life and unwillingness to contribute to their solution. To increase the civic activity of population, it is advisable to develop the network interaction with the local government on the basis of modern means of communication, aimed at formation of the solidarity local communities in the territories of residence, to stimulate them with grant support from the city budget.
